Unlock Internet
This restores the unrestricted access to the Internet. All filters will be set to inactive.
Application, Restrictions and Compatibility
The function ‘Lock Internet’ and ‘Filter through Positive list’ can be applied immediately
and are browser independent, regardless of whether you use Internet Explorer, Netscape, Opera
etc. More so, the functionality is not limited to the browser but also extends to controlling the
access in FTP and Email clients.
The function ‘Filter through Negative list’ and ‘Content Filter’ is currently only available for
Microsoft Internet Explorer. As soon as you select the ‘Content Filter‘, all open Internet
Explorer windows on the student PC will be closed to allow the Content Filter to become active.
The online activity log provides a quick status overview of all connected PCs.
For technical reasons, it is not possible to restrict Internet access during file exchange via the File
Browser or during Video/Screen broadcast. This is a temporary requirement of the Windows Explorer
during which unrestricted access to the Internet is granted. The student PC will return to its restricted
settings as soon as the file exchange or the Screen-transfer is finished.
System Tray Status Indicator
After the successful activation of the Internet Module on a student PC you will see a small
‘globe’ symbol in its system tray. The student will receive a pop-up notification detailing the
change to the relevant Internet settings.
This notification will disappear after a short time. If you hover your mouse pointer over the
globe the current status will be displayed.
After starting INiS the Internet access is locked by default.
If the Internet is now subsequently unlocked, the status icon will reflect this change when the
mouse pointer is placed over the globe icon.
If Internet access is granted using the Positive list, the applied filter is displayed in brackets after
the status.
If Internet access is restricted by ‘Content Filter‘an additional filter icon is displayed in the
system tray
If Internet access is restricted by ‘Negative list ‘an additional filter icon is displayed in the
system tray.
